He had followers at the show and even had a fan want a picture with the dog in the paper.  Xander offered pawdagraphs and kisses.  He represented how a Rottweiler can have looks as per the standard, solid temperament, and be trained!  He provided a professional representation of the breed receiving great compliments from the judges, however too young for their tastes.  He received his V-1 ratings and will be now considered a National Champion in that circuit.

Paper article photo grapy will be posted soon…..

Or known too many as The Bee, Bee Bee, B, or Princess/Queen. Bee will be missed by all her house brothers/sisters, You Know especially has lost her Brace companion.

She was my first girl and became my shadow in every activity I did and would always sleep right next to me regardless what was going on, even in a minivan in Montana. We were so close to being a Champion and had so many other things planned. Eleanor is trying to step up and has amazingly started to do some of her odd traits.

Off to Rainbow Bridge you go…..you have touched so many hearts in your short time here with us, it is just unfair that you had to go so soon.

Please everyone take a second and hug your dogs….

With The Bee Bee’s illness and surgery she has officially retired from the show ring.  You Know tore her ACL playing too hard. 

2Infinity is starting 2013 off on the right paw. 

You Know had her surgery and rehabbing at Grandma’s house for a few months.  No Nationals for her…sad day.  Xander & Eleanor have started obedience classes and are doing great.  Hope to have some titles ready for Nationals.  Moxy & Diago are hanging together and waiting for that biological clock to start ticking.

Looking forward to a positive and fresh 2013

The Stars of the show were The Bee Bee & You Know as BRACE.  Brace is one of those things that is harder than it looks and with two very independent spirits and “bitches” can also look really great.  The girlz faught hard on Friday, but could not defeat the fluffy dogs.  Saturday was another story!!  They were great and got BEST IN SHOW BRACE, Those fluffy dogs went DOWN!!!  Then they must have scared them off, it was all about them on Sunday!
